Description amy2008 2008-12-19 08:35:40 UTC
Can reproduce it in Writer with DEV300m37 on WinXP and Fedora

How to reproduce it 
1 Create a new Writer document, Edit - Changes - check 'Record'
2 Type ENTER 3 or more than 3 times, Edit - Changes - uncheck uncheck 'Record'
  Set cursor among these paragraphs,enter a character what you like, e.g. 'a'.
3 Edit - Changes - check 'Record', delete the character you entered just now
4 Edit - Changes - uncheck 'Show' and uncheck 'Record'
5 CTRL + A, Delete, Undo on the Standard bar

Result 
OOo hangs

Expectation
OOo works well

Regards
Li Meiying

MRU->AMA: follow the described steps and Writer will be caught in a loop after
using Undo in the end.
Comment 2 amy2008 2008-12-22 02:30:02 UTC
Issue 97420 and Issue 97421, they are related to 'UNDO' which contains empty 
entries in the listitem.

hi mba,

Could you please check this patch and point out if anything wrong or missed?

In this patch:
- changed a critical case in ComparePosition()
- saved nodes for the hidden redlines

Thanks for the patch, I will have a look at it soon.
Comment 8 majun51 2009-12-18 07:47:59 UTC
hi mba,

I tested a some bigger document which contains some redlines in  and found it
spend too much time on openning file...  it's because my change in
ComparePosition() in the patch. So please give it up.

i just changed "if( rStt1 < rStt2 )" to "if( rStt1 <= rStt2 )". The
ComparePosition() is called in AppendRedline() and according result returned
from ComparePosition(), many redlines will be inserted into pRedlineTbl. Could
you please give me some suggestions about the logic to handle redlines here? I
will continue working on this issue.

hi majun51,

i'm sorry, but your proposed change to ComparePosition is wrong:
try e.g. 2 positions with same start and end, which should return EQUAL, but
returns OUTSIDE.

It seems the return value of ComparePosition is not very well defined if start
and end of one range are equal; but i would recommend not changing
ComparePosition, because nobody knows what that may break.

While debugging i could see that there is a loop in SwDoc::AppendRedline for
such redlines with no extent.
It loops because the statement on line 923 "pRedl->SetStart" does not change the
redline.
Probably it would be better to just change the specific case in
SwDoc::AppendRedline that loops, by checking in the POS_INSIDE case if one of
the ranges is a point.

This has the advantage that it is unlikely to break any unrelated functionality.
Of course this has the disadvantage that it makes AppendRedline even more
complicated, but i cannot think of a better approach.

@majun51:

after not hearing from you for some time,
i've tried to fix the issue myself now.

you were right about the second part of your patch.

because on Undo, the RestoreSection method clears the section pointer (pMvStt),
the Redo implementation must re-create the redline data.

this was not clear to me initially, because this problem only occurs on Redo.

the other half of the fix is a change in AppendRedline,
as described in my previous comment.

thanks for your patch!
